Young Grasshopper :3

Well, hey there! I decided that I would join this site for encouragement and direction today. I've thought about going vegan for a good deal of time now, and I'm finally ready to take the first step. Sometimes it's hard, considering that I'm a teenager who is engrossed in early college and staying busy, but I'm tired of giving in to the peer pressure and jeopardizing my mobility and health. I want to feel better about myself and feel better physically as well. I struggle with chronic pain daily due to a rare genetic disorder, and I hope that this lifestyle can help me lose some of the pain. Here's to staying motivated and keeping healthy!
